Evgeni Dybsky (born January 24, 1955 in Constanza, Romania ) is a contemporary artist. He currently lives and works in Berlin and Moscow. Dybsky's painting is based on the construction of non-linear visual space and the juxtaposition of heterogeneous materials.

life and work

The artist spent his youth and student years in Russia . There he graduated from the Moscow Art School "In Memory of the Year 1905" (1978) and from the Moscow Surikov Art Institute, Faculty of Graphics (1984). Although the realistic canon was imposed as dogma in late Soviet art education, Dybsky came to non-figurative art early on. As a student, he became known in Moscow's artistic circles thanks to his participation in the non-censored, nonconformist one-day exhibitions and the XV. Moscow Youth Exhibition 1983. At the one-day exhibition at Kusnetzkij Most, which became the key event of artistic life in Moscow in the spring of 1984, Dybsky exhibited together with the artists Lev Tabenkin, Maxim Kantor , Igor Ganikowskij , Zakhar Sherman, Ivan Lubennikov and Alexander Scherbinin.

Since 1985 Dybsky has been close to the unofficial group of metarealists and especially Alexei Parshchikov. Early non-figurative works by Dybsky were also commented on as “metarealistic” or “metametaphorical”. Alexei Parschtschikow later described Dybsky's painting:

“The colored areas come together according to the assembly principle - their surfaces form densities; it seems that the color moves through different levels of depth: it plunges, seeps through, meanders, comes to the surface, glides over it, stops and splits into unpredictable shades. The edge of the frame has a depth that makes the painting look like a glass showcase with an object in it. This once again emphasizes the object-like nature of the painting. To the extent that the glass showcase is seen as an integral part of the exhibited object, it functions as a transparent curtain that does not reveal an abstraction, but rather - very directly - the materiality of a snapped and captured impression. "

In 1987 Dybsky's international exhibition career began. This was followed by exhibitions in the Galerie de France, Paris, the Costakis Collection, Athens, at the Imatra Festival and the Kaj Forsblom Gallery, Helsinki. In 1988 Dybsky's work was sold in the first Soviet Sotheby's auction. In 1990 Dybsky accepted the invitation of the Milanese gallery owner Giorgio Marconi, moved to Italy and worked with Marconi's gallery.

Dybsky has been working in series since 1985. Since 1992 the artist has titled all subsequent series “Translation of Time” and numbered them consecutively from I (1992–1993) to currently XVII (2013–2020).

In 1995 the artist moved to Cologne, where he lived and worked until 2008. During this time, his works became even less figurative, almost minimalist and monochrome.

In 2006, after a repeated encounter with the now restored fresco paintings by Giotto di Bondone in the Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padua, Dybsky began his "Giotto Project". The artist commented on his series like this:

“We tend to transfer our own fantasies to our love objects, this also applies to fantasies about form. I started sublimating my [unrestored] Paduan Giotto on my canvases, which were the same size as the original frescoes. It certainly became “my Giotto”, endowed with the peculiarities of my painting. These peculiarities result from my years of work, which means a continuous development of my painting for me. Nevertheless, the peculiarities of Giotto's painting have also flowed into this development over the years. "

In 2013 Dybsky started the new project "Translation of Time XVII / Tintoretto Included", which he will continue until 2020. The inconsistencies that characterize Jacopo Tintoretto's use of Chiaroscuro induced Dybsky to experiment with the painterly techniques, structures and materials that extract light and shadow from the mimetic tradition of representation and transform them into autonomous artistic means. This series represents a dialogue with the concrete paintings by Tintoretto as well as integrating the chiaroscuro effects that Dybsky found in the incidence of light in various landscapes, interiors and in modeling the human figure.

Evgeni Dybski is an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts.
